Near by stood a man apparently bent upon the same object. In a few mo ments a squeaking noise was heard on the opposite side of the engine. Seizing the oil-can (a gigantic one, by the way), the -engineer sought out the dry spot, and to prevent farther noise of that kind, liberally applied the contents of his can to every _ joint. All went well for a while, when the squeaking was heard in another direction. 'The oiling process was repeated and quiet restored; but as •the engineer was coming -quietly around toward the spot occupied by - the Doctor and the stranger, he heard -another. squeak. This time he detected the • true cause of the difficulty. The stranger was a ventriloquist. Walking . directly up. - behind him, he seized the astonishedjoker by the back of the neck, and emptied the - contents of the can down his spine. "There!" - said he, "l don't believe that old engine will squeak again."

Arrival of the City of Boston. THE FENIAN MOVEMENT IN IRELAND,. The Times on Mr. Banoroft's Oration. The steamship City of Boston, from Liver pool Feb. 28th and 'Queenstown March Ist, arrived at New York on Sunday, The steamer Queen sailed on the 28th for New York. The Africa arrived at Liver pool on the 26th, and the City of Washing ton at Queenstown on the 28th. The Times, after expatiating on the want of unanimity in the Russell cabinet, says it is not surprised at the rumor that Russell has asked the Queen to relieve him of his duties. The Times admits that the rumor wants authenticating, but discusses it as if a fact, and supposes that a new Liberal cabinet will be formed, and suggests the Duke of Somerset as the probable head. The Irish question was discussed in the House of Lords. No other journal says anything on the subject. Earl Grey gave notice that he would move at an early day for a full con sideration of the subject. The Pall Mall Gazette had given currency to a report that Queen Victoria was sick, but the Daily Telegraph asserts that the re port was without inundation. Sir Charles Phipps, Keeper of the Queen's Privy Purse and her Private Secretary, is dead. The Paris Memorial Diplomatique says the mission of Baron Saillard to Mexico is a mere starting point for negotiation in the withdrawal of the French troops. The re port that 5,000 men will return in May is at least very premature. If the French expedition had ended in 1865 it would have cost £27,000,000 and 11,000 men killed and disabled. The London Star has reason to know that the relations of Austria and Prussia rela tive to the Duchies are very critical,and even hints at a possible war. The American Minister had a grand banquet at the Marine Club at Cronstadt, when fraternal sentiments were inter changed. The forced abduction of Prince Couza is confirmed. The Count of Flanders was of fered but declined the hospodarship. It is supposed a European Conference will be held on the subject. The government had received a telegram in twenty-one hours from India, an nouncing the settlement of the Bhootan affair. The Fenians. [Correspondence of the London Thaes.l DUBLIN, Feb. 26.- 7 0 n. Saturday, six more soldiers, William Price, Daniel Lyons; and William Curry, private soldiers, belonging to the 87th regiment, James Hughes, 75th regiment; and Daniel Kinchela,caias James Kelly, Royal Artillery, all on furlough in this city, were arrested on a charge of hav ing deserted from their regiments, and joined the Fenian Brotherhood. Subse quently to the arrests, the police having re ceived information that some of the persons arrested as civilians at Pilsworth's public house in James's street were soldiers in dis guise, they proceeded to the prison in which they are confined, and discovered that the men who had given their names as Thomas O'Brien and William Thompson were in reality two deserters from the sth Dragoon Guards, named James Wilson and Martin Haynes. The police also arrested a man named James McGrath at the North-wall on Saturday, on a charge of Fenianism. The men Cullen, Lawlor, Lyons and Byrne, recently arrested in Townsend street, under the suspension of the habeas corpus, were conveyed on Saturday night, under a strong escort of police, from the College street Station to Mountjoy Prison. The prisoners confined in Chancery lane Station have not yet been removed. An important arrest has been made in the county Carlow. The Express correspondent says: "After several months' searching,by night and day, John Morris, the famous Head Centre for Carlow, was arrested this morn ing at the house of his uncle, Ned Nolan, a farmer residing at Kilmaglas, near Myshal. By the arrest of this outlaw the Fenian cause in this part of the country has got a very serious check, as there is reason to suppose that he was one of the most active agents engaged in the treasonable conspiracy." £lOO reward had been offered for his ap prehension. The arrest was very cleverly effected. At Ballinasloe, yesterday morning, the same journal reports: "Shortly after two o'clock, Sub-inspector , Sweeney, accompanied by Head-constable Ellis, and a party of constabulary, proceeded to make a number of arrests. The parties at the time were in their beds, and nore sistance was made. Their names were:— John Martin, butcher. Michael Clarke; stonemason, just returned from America; John Eustace, baker; and Timothy Conner, shoemaker, late agent for the Irish People. The parties were brought to the police bar racks, where our active resident magistrate, Mr. John M. Hatchell, was in waiting, and they were soon transmitted to Bridewell, where they remain at present with two sub constables on sentry. The loyal, people of this town on proceeding to their various places of worship were greatly annoyed to hear of the arrests, though most of them expected such a result. It is expected that more arrests will speedily be made, and that disclosures will be made involving par ties entirely unsuspected. The country in the meanwhile remains in a disquieted state, and the general-desire is that troops should be sent here and to Loughrea. The local paper, the Western Star, has several times called on the executive to send even a couple of companies here, but we are still left to the protection of the police." Accounts from Limerick state that some .Fenians were brought in by train from the country on Saturday and confined in the same prison with all the other suspected Fenians taken up during the week under the suspended Habeas Corpus Act. One of the prisoners is named Wall, schoolmaster of Kilmallock workhouse; a second, Mr. Thomas Hartnet, an independent farmer, from near Newcastle west; and the third, Mr. Michael Condon, also a respectable farmer from the same neighborhood. On passing through the streets to the pris6n, much sympathy was expressed for them by the crowds who congregated at all public thoroughfares to see them. 'A respectable young man from Rathcoole, arrested yesterday under the same Act, was also brought in and committedto the county goal. It is said that great influence has PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1866. been used to admit some of the parties to bail. The Board of military officers, which has been sitting here for the last fortnight by adjournments, have not yet concluded their labors. Some civilian witnesses have given theirevidence in such a vague way as to _cause order after order to be issued for "further inquiries," and this has prolonged the sitting. It is now said that the testi mony taken down by the Court will involve other non-commissioned officers besides the four under arrest. A young man named Dwyer was arrested th's evening on suspi cion of being Geary, who fired at the head constable in Rathkeale, but was discharY,,ed. The trial of Sergeant Darragh, at Cork, had not concluded 'on Saturday. MONDAY EvENniu.—This morning the Orderly officers and sergeant-majors in the Dublin garrison inspected the Fenian pris oners, and identified five, arrested in civi - ian othes, as deserters from their regi ments in England. They were delivered handcuffed to the military authorities. Three publicans and another man were arrested this morning at Sligo. Sergeant Campbell, of the Antrim militia, and two other men, were arrested to-day in Belfast; also a man named Murphy, in Cork, end another at Kinsale. On Saturday upwards of 80 members 'of the Stephen's-green Club entertained the Chief Secretary for Ireland at a banquet. This entertainment was intended as a marked compliment to Mr. Fortescue prior to his departure from Ireland for his official duties in London.

A box of hand-grenades and Orsini shells, received by steamer from Liverpool, had been seized by the police of Dublin, and at Kilkenny a large seizure of gunpowder had been made. A vigorous search for arms and ammuni tion was going on at Cork and Queenstown, but nothing had been discovered. Three men who arrived at Queenstown from America in the Etna, on the 27th of February, named Gregory, Doheny, Fitz gerald, were arrested soon after landing, but no arms or ammunition were found in their possession. LIVERPOOL, March I.—The bank rate is unchanged. The rumored resignation of Russell is emphatically denied. Fenian affairs are unchanged. The mili tary force in Ireland will be further aug mented. The English Government has seized two vessels at London which were fitting oat for the Chilean Government. The London Times on Mr. Bancroft. [From the Times of Feb. I'M.] The other day it was proposed to one of our old Universities that a series of pro fessional or literary gentlemen from Ame rica should be invited by the endowment of a special lectureship to visit England and address orations to the undergraduates on American subjects. The majority of the Senate, however, considered wisely, as we think, that there may be found among the members of the University itself, men ca pable of acquiring a sufficient knowledge of foreign countries to give the students any instruction they may need, and the offer was consequently declined. If any proof of the wisdom of this decision were necessary, it might be found in an incident related in our American correspondence to day. Such an oration has just been de livered by exactly such a man as a New England University would be likely to se lect; and, so far from its effect having been to produce amity and good will between the two countries, it is plain that the speaker took the opportunity to utter, and a part of the audience to applaud, everything that could offend the pride and rouse the in • lignation of England. it appears that the 12th of February being the anniversary of the late President Lin coln's birth, it occurred to some of the party which he represented that it would be fit ting to deliver a formal eulogy upon him in the presence of the American Executive and Legislature, the Diplomatic Body, and, in short, the whole political world of Wash ington. The duty was undertaken by Mr. George Bancroft. This gentleman, as most o:e our readers know, was some years since Minister to England ; he is advanced in years ; he has had the best opportunities of forming sound opinions, and chastening the judgments of ignorant patriotism. He has written history, and obtained a respectable literary reputation. He may thus be fairly presumed to represent the more moderate school of political oratory. The subject also was a solemn one, being the life and death of one who has rendered great services to the country in ,its highest office, and had been cut off by the hand of an assassin less than a year ago. Both the man and the theme might lead a foreign auditor to suppose that he was about to listen to a well-weighed and temperate address. There was much preparation for the ceremony, which took the character of a national demonstration. The oration was delivered in the House of Representatives; the President, his Cabinet, and the Judges of the Supreme Court attended, and the Foreign Ministers were also present by in vitation to do honor to the late President of the United States. The British Le g ation, we may presume, attended in good faith, and with no idea that England was to be attacked in a 'regular Fourth of July ora tion. But before the hour of delivery came it was evident that England, and in some degree France, were to receive the castigation due to their many sins, and to be regaled through their repre sentatives with a full display of their little ness and the surpassing excellence of the great Republic. The oration of the day had been printed, and before the speaker came to the most trenchant parts of his philippic they had been pointed out to those who were especially interested in them. The French Minister happened to stay away; but his Secretaries were present, and did not care to conceal their disgust. Si Frederic Bruce and the British diplomatic staff sat it out with the usual impassiveness of their race. The oration was worthy of Elijah Pogram. The British Lion might fairly be expeCted to "put his tail between his legs and howl with anguish." The staple of the harangue was abuse of England and its institutions What the tenure of land in Great Britain or the occupation of Asiatic forts by this country have to do with President Lincoln's birthday, it is not easy to understand; nor does there seem to be much room for com- OUR. 'WIIOLE COUNTRY. parisonbetween Lord Palmerston. who for upwards of 50 years was concerned in all the chief affairs of Europe and America, and President,, Lincoln, who happened to hold office during, four years in a domestic war. But these matters were dragged in that the veaker might have an opportunity to rail at and vilify the country whose language he was speaking and whose authors he had in tormer times done his best to imitate. The taste which could invite an English minister and his staff in order to inflict upon them a coarse invective needs no remark. We can well understand - that there were many among the Americans themselves whowere shocked, at, the indecency, but we can as little doubt what we are told—that the bit terest passages - in . Mr. Bancroft's address were the most warmly greeted by that polite assemblage. Mr. Bancroft probably knows enough of England to be aware that these harangues have little effect on this side of the ocean. We shall even proceed to the discussion of the coming reform bill unaffected by his doclaration that it is to "bury the dead," "to remove the worn-out Government of a class," and "to confide rightful power to the people." It is not the effect here, but the effect in America, that is of importance. Can this mischievous old man believe that any purpose can be served by slandering two such countries as England and France in the presence of their representatives? The Americans know their own rights, and are sufficiently watchful in maintaining them; theydo not require to be continually hounded on against us, nor will it tend to the enlightened conduct of public affairs if they are made to believe that England is a country where the mass of the people is powerless and oppressed. It is to such de clamations as these that we owe the arrival of a few score Fenian adventurers in Ireland, fully believing that they and their New York friends can overthrow the rule of the strongest, most resolute, and most wealthy Government in the world. The Irish emi grants are so accustomed to hear the old country is effete, that they really fancy they have nothing to do but to return home, get up a popular rising, and take possession of the land after the extirpation of the aristo ci ats. Such misrepresentations might be properly left to a lower class of politicians; they do not deserve to be countenanced by one who claims the high titles of historian and diplomatist. ''l-1E IFJENILA.Di S. REPORTS FROM BURLINGTON, VERMONT. Large Quantities of Arms and Uni- forms Accumulated. PREEARATIONS FOR A RAID. Rumored Departure of a Fenian Regi ment from Baltimore, &c. Cerrespondenoe of the New York World.] ALBANY, March 11.—I have just received some very important news through private and reliable sources from Burlington, throwing considerable light on the move ments of the Fenians in that vicinity. Uni forms for fifteen thousand men, and two thousand rifles of the very best pattern, have been transported quietly during the last ten days from New York city and from Troy to Burlington, Vermont, where they now re main concealed, awaiting—the advance of the Fenian host. It is more than possible that these arms will see the light on St. Patrick's day, when there is to be a grand demonstration of some kind made by the Irish population in that locality. Arms in abundance are said to be stored at Detroit, Sandusky, Buffalo, Ogdensburg, Plattsburg and Montpelier. Three companies of Fenian volunteers have been organized in Burlington for service in Canada. An old officer, who has seen ser vice in Mexico, has command of the battal ion. The Vermont Fenians have received trustworthy intelligence from Montreal that there was a secret meeting of the lead ers of the movement in that city, last Friday night, in a building not a hundred yards from the Bonsecours market, in which it was resolved to give every aid possible to the invaders. Out of the 85,000 mem bers of that order in Canada, it is stated that 25,000 will take up arms as soon as as Sweeny's advance reaches Canadian soil. Many of the Southern officers who have been residing in Canada for the last two years, have gone to New York for the purpose of offering their services and assist ance to Gen. Sweeny. The Isle St. Helene, on the St. Lawrence river, opposite Mon treal, a military post which is a key to the defence of the city, is being put in a thor ough state of defence, and no civilian is al lowed to visit the forts under any pretence whatever, Rumors of the Departure of a Fenian Regiment from Baltimore. BALTIMORE, March 11.—There arerumors circulating here that a body of 300 Fenians, will leave here to-morrow evening by the :Northern Central Railroad, for Canada or somewhere else, It is proper to say that said reports are deemed utterly sensational. The Search for Fenian Arms and Docu- ments. TORONTO, C. W., March 10.—The gov ernment's call for volunteers is being re sponded to with the utmost alacrity and en thusiasm. A circular published by the Customs Department specially instructs of ficers to thoroughly search all the baggage of passengers coming into the Province, and detain all arms, weapons. and munitions of war found, or otherwise brought in or worn by passengers, who may be required to give their names and connection, with a list of arms, etc., taken from them. Express goods are to be compared with their mani fests, and packages may, with reasonable suspicion, be opened. Freight trains are to be carefully examined,. and no package not mentioned in the manifest will be allowed to pass. The cars are to be securely locked or sealed before they pass the frontier. The greatest vigilance is expected from the offi cers in seeing that the piohibition against arms is enforced. The Departments have also issued another circular to collec tors, stating that it is considered that the abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaty will have the effect of reviving any pre-existing customs duties attached to imports into Canada of the present list of free goods, Which are to continue to be admitted free from any part of the world until the Legis lature deems it advisable to reimpose duties thereupon, with the exception of dried fruits, the growth of the United States, fur skins, pelts, and tails undressed, when im ported directly from the States, which will. after March 17, be liable to a duty of twenty per Fem. Great Alarm in New Brunswick. ST. Jourr, N. 8., Saturday, March 10.— There is much alarm here about the Fenians, on account of our defenceless condition. Tbe-government has donenothing whatever to prepare for emergency. There is a smart run on the banks for gold by depositors of small sums. The Montreal Excitement. I From the Montreal Telegraph, March tt.] MILITIA BRIGADE OFFICE, MONTREAL, March B—Brigade Order:—ln accordance with orders from headquar i ters, the several corps of the volunteer militia force of Mon treal will assemble at their private parade ar 7-1 o'clock P. M. punctually, where every officer and man is ordered to be present. The whole force to be ready for; inspec tion by the commandant at 8% o'clock, P.M. Pantie status to be furnished for the information of the Adjutant General of Militia. The Cavalry will parade to-morrow, the 9th instant,at 3 o'clock,in rear of the Champi de Mara, Craig street. By order of the Commandant, JOHN MACPHERSON, Lient.-Col., Brigade Major. The commander-in-chief has issued or ders to call out for active service ten thou sand militia forthwith. Last night guards were posted at the ar mories, and other precautions against sur prise taken. We trust there is no man here liable to service that will not cheerfully obey the summons; and that there is no employer who will refuse those under his control permission to take their place in the ranks. The men will be under pay from the date they are called out. It is earnestly to be hoped that every man of the volunteer militia who does not wil lingly obey the call to arms at the present time (should there be any such), and every employer who directly or indirectly places any obstacle in the way of his employes do ing their duty, will be publicly exposed. In the midst of the preparations now making to resist any enemy that may as sail Canada, let those disposed to indulge in panic, bear in mind that preparation is the best prevention of invasion or assault. When, it is known that Canada is in arms and prepared to meet the foe, the Fenian brigands will suddenly lose their appetite for an enterprise, the only inducement to c. hich was the supposed safe indulgence in pillage and murder. Let the government be equal to the occa sion, and let the people support it as they ought to do, and the Yankee scoundrels who propose to pillage Canada under the pretence of founding an Irish Republic,will immediately discover that important stra tegic difficulties have been overlooked and will seek their spoil in some less dangerous neighborhood. Terrible Threats Against the 'United States Government. [From the Montreal Trans , ript, March 8.1 Our readers are beginning to realize the fact that a bubble may contain a deadly gas, which no prudent parent wonid wil lingly allow to explode among his children. That Fenianism will ultimately prove to be a bubble of the largest size few sane men entertain any doubt. Its harmlessness is another question; but our Government has information that it will not be harmless. We speak the feelings of the people of Canada, when we say that they will not only be sustained in using proper precau tionary measures, but they will be incur ring a fearful responsibility if they fail to do so. Far better for them to be laughed at for an excessive credulity than be mocked and condemned for imbecility. The American press, which to-day affects to chuckle at the "Canadian scare," would to-morrow rejoice more gleefully over the success of the Fenians, if by any means, they should succeed even for an hour in hoisting the "green flag" above the royal standard in any city in Canada. To prove the correctness of this assertion facts are not wanting. We can all remember the howl of indignation raised against us through the then Federal States when some 20 men, who had kept their designs a profound secret ( boar ding,w hile on our side of the line, chiefly in houses kept by persons of American origin ), crossed over to St. Albans and robbed the bank. In all questions of )ILCIGIII et taunt the American feeling is exceed ingly sensitive, but very much one-sided. But they had better beware. Many a throat has been cut with the razor intended to stave. Our friendly neighbors cannot plead ignorance of the fact that thousands of men meet day after day in their princi pal cities, and openly proclaim their hostile intentions against Canada. And, although this has been going on for months, not one syllable of official interdiction or rebuke has been breathed against it. On the con trary we are told that the whole thing is too farcical to justify the interference of the government. And, as a matter of course, should mischief ensue, a proclamation will be iseuedl forbidding the evil that has been worked. What we have to consider at pre sent is, how we are to act in the premises? The answer to this question resolves itself into two parts, viz.: our relative and per sonal duty. We must stand by the govern ment, act with them, and uphold them in every possible way. And every citizen must be fully prepared to defend his life and property. • THE ARLINGTON ESTATE.—The Superin tendent of Freedmen's Village has been in structed by Major General 0. 0. Howard to divide the Arlington estate into five acre lots, to be rented on written agreements, to the freedmen, the rent to be paid at each harvesting of ! the crops. Fifteen acres on the west side of the road are assigned to be divided and rented in the same manner; about 20 acres to be used as a garden, by the dependents of the Freedmen's village. This estate is not confiscated property, and therefore cannot revert to the heirs at the death of the owners; but it was sold for taxes, and purchased by the government for the purposes to which it is now being applied. A HERO'S Boulsyry MONEY.—Miss Jen nie Snyder, of Rush township, Northum berland county, Pa.,a poor, but noble hearted girl, was betrothed to a Mr. Kline. Mr. K. volunteered at his country's call and received a bounty of four hundred dollars, which he gave to his lady love with this con dition: "that if he was not spared to return, the money was to be hers . ' Mr. K. was killed or died in the service, but Miss S. in stead of retaining the money in a selfish grasp, employed a committee to proceed South in search of the body of the "loved and lost," which when found, she had brought home and interred with Christian rites, the cost of which absorbed a greater portion of the money.

Lord, real estate owner and broker, No. 38, Exchange Place. How the: theft was effected is not stated. Therowner,' • Mr. Lord, is over eighty years-of age, very infirm and forgetfai, and it is more- titian probable that some thief or thieves, con versant with these facts, were secreted in the office, and embraced the first opportu- - nity to seize the prize, and escaped un noticed. At the time of the robbery the list of the stolen bonds was but imperfectly known but a careful search through the books e the establishment has resulted in ascertain ing the numbers. and ,description of all the missing property. The amount stolen is as follows: 95 7-30 coupon bonds, of $5,000 each; due Feb. 15, 1866, amounting to $475,000. 25 7-30 coupon bonds of $l,OOO each. 16 7-30 bonds, of $l,OOO each, dated Aug; 5, 1864. 5 7-30 bonds of $5,000 each, dated August 15. 1864. 3 7-30 bonds, of $5,000 each, dated June 15, 1865. 5 7-30 bonds, of $l,OOO each, dated Janet 15, 1864. 5 7-30 bonds, of $l,OOO each, dated July,. 1865.

It is impossible that so large an amount of bonds should be at once thrown upon the community without exciting a suspicion and ultimately leading to the detection of the:thief or thieves, and in addition the fact of the robbery and a full description of the bonds has been so extensively advertised that business men throughout the country will be placed upon their guard and pre vented from buying them if offered for sale. A reward of $200,000 has been offered by Mr. Lord for the recovery of the property and the conviction of the thieves. Captain John S. Young, with some of his most trust ed detectives, have the matter in hand, and they are exerting themselves to the utmost to discover the guilty parties. Mr. Lord is one 'of the oldest and best known real estate owners and brokers in the city. He owns the entire block bound ed by Beaver and William streets, and Exchange place, and other property to a large amount. As an instance of his for getfulness, it is stated that some time since he declared. that he had been robbed of fifty thousand dollars worth of United States sixes of 1881, but subsequent) found them in a box, where he had mislaid them.
